Can’t make this stuff up….

I cannot make stuff like this up.

I live and work as a journalist in the small Alabama town of Eclectic. Today, Saturday, Sept. 25, is the town’s annual Cotton Festival, one of the largest community events of the year.

A little 12-year old boy bought a stuffed beaver at one of the booths at the festival. He carried it around all day. This was so unusual that I just had to get a photo of him holding the stuffed beaver.

When I went up to him to get the photo, I asked him his name. Just then, he noticed a yellow jacket circling the stuffed beaver. He shouted “Oh God!” And he quickly set the stuffed beaver down and tried to kick the yellow jacket.

Then he looked at me and said “My name’s not God.”

Later, he taped a sign to stuffed beaver and carried it around.

The sign read, “Get your photo taken with or kiss my beaver $1.”

To answer the question before you ask, yes I have seen the scene in Naked Gun with Leslie Nelson, Pricilla Presley and the stuffed beaver.

So, did you get his picture or kiss his beaver?

I'll have you know...

1. I never kiss a boy's beaver.

2. I never kiss a minor beaver.

3. I never have to pay for beaver.

4. I tell people I'm a reporter and I can take a photo of just about anything - including a nicely stuffed beaver.
